Marines appear to be the clear favorite for this meeting. Rutsiro occupies the last, 18th place in the table with disastrous home form – zero home wins this season (0% Win%) and as many as 63% losses. The hosts have earned just 0.4 points per match in their last five games and have not won any of them. Marines, despite playing away, present significantly better disposition – 30% away wins, a better goal difference (-1 vs -6 for the hosts), and higher xG indicators (1.39 vs 1.26). Additionally, the guests have obtained 1.2 points per match in their last five games, which is three times better than Rutsiro. Considering all statistics, Marines have a real chance of winning, although the poor efficiency of both teams and the guests' form (three draws in the last five) suggest the possibility of a points split.
